Assassins

Perhaps the most controversial musical ever written, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s Assassins is bold, surreal and alarmingly funny. Evoking a macabre fraternity of Presidential assassins and would-be assassins, this unusually imaginative piece examines the questionable drive for power and celebrity in American society–all to the tune of some of Sondheim’s most vivid and highly-textured music.
